What are the effects of a broken engine belt?
1 Answers
Here are the specific impacts of a broken engine belt: 1. Abnormal operation: It can cause the engine valves and ignition system to malfunction, preventing the timing transmission from delivering power, and the engine may suddenly stall and coast. 2. Valve closure issues: The pistons will continue to move up and down due to inertia, while the opening and closing of the valves have stopped. In the confined space of the combustion chamber, the pistons may collide with the valves, bending the valve pushrods, denting the piston tops, or even punching holes in the cylinder head. 3. Engine failure: In severe cases, this can lead to the engine being irreparably damaged and rendered unusable.
